A Maidstone couple’s wedding skated well away from anything traditional and was broadcast to the nation this week.

Jaydene Coomber and Luke Jarvis appeared on BBC Three’s reality television series Don’t Tell The Bride last night.

The show sees grooms given £12,000 to plan their nuptials, even buying their bride’s dress and planning the hen night.

Mr Jarvis’s masterplan saw the dedicated Maidstone Roller Hockey player hit upon a roller skate theme to the day, even though Miss Coomber does not skate.

The episode focused on Miss Coomber’s love of the traditional and showed her setting her heart on West Farleigh church, where both her grandparents and parents tied the knot.

Instead Mr Jarvis booked a sports arena in Herne Bay — which he described as 'the Wembley of roller hockey' — for the March ceremony, with the bride having to don skates and wheel warily up the aisle.

For the reception the assembled party decamped to Paddock Wood’s Hop Farm for a seaside and skate-themed bash.

Other elements of the groom’s planning saw him and his mates travel to Barcelona for a stag do, while Miss Coomber was left with a meagre £27 to go towards her hen night – in Maidstone.

Mr Jarvis also appeared dressed as a baby for a match at Maidstone United’s Gallagher Stadium in the run-up to the nuptials.

Despite various set backs, budgetary nightmares and a few tears the day panned out exceptionally well.

The couple are now known as Mr and Mrs Coomber after the groom took his bride’s surname.

The previous week’s episode also featured a husband and wife from Kent, with Rich Hibberd and Jody Read, from Queenborough, getting hitched in April.

Mr Hibberd, who manages Formula 1 Autocentres in Maidstone, decided it would be best for the couple to marry on a blustery Mount Snowdon after a hike to the summit in 2013 made him realise he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Miss Read.
